| Jun 11, 2014 at 9:19 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | @EsotericScreenName You brought up one good point. It's the sequence of what happened in the narrator's mind, which is not necessary what physically happened in the story. I implied this every happens/happened in my answers, I believe. I'm a bit too tired to fix that at the moment. Probably leaving this point in the comments might be enough, I hope. | |
| Jun 11, 2014 at 9:13 | comment | added | Esoteric Screen Name | Agreed, as written (with though) it makes no sense. Either way I'm shocked that the author, editor and publisher all let this sentence make it through. | |
| Jun 11, 2014 at 9:11 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | I still think it's a typo (but that's only my opinion), because I can't make sense of the though version. As for the sequence, it's more like it's the sequence of thoughts according to the narrator who narrated the narrative. | |
| Jun 11, 2014 at 9:06 | comment | added | Esoteric Screen Name | I thought it might be a typo as well, but if you search for the passage, you'll see it's not. Though all my years of hopeless returns quotes of the passage in question (from Barnes & Noble and obvious piracy sites) and through all my years of hopeless returns no results (I paired these search phrases with the title in quotes). And are you really claiming that the joy ... was gone occurred after (not just was placed after in the text) I gazed after him? Because that's clearly not the case. | |
